Don`t know if this is a question or a suggestion, but I was talking to my brother inlaw over christmas, he works for the firm who built City of manchester Stadium.

He said if Stanley were looking into the possibilities of a move into a new ground that they should hold a competition for designers/architects to design a new Stadium. This could result in a number of designs (done for FREE) from which they could chose maybe the bulk of one design with aspects of one or more other designs preferred. They would need to outline the specifications/requirements for designers to work to, maybe include provision for expansion, i.e. some terraces which may later become seated or Stands which could be extended. With all the designs in place and a location chosen it is then much easier to approach backers with a clear cut vision of what they`ll be backing.

I`m still of the opinion that we should be knocking on the door of the Championship before we even contemplate upping sticks, but there`s no harm in having the plans in place nice and early.
